The Deep Sea Alien Creature

Well, at least Snyder will get his name in the Guinness Book of Records. I mean, causing two nuclear explosions in one afternoon has to be some sort of record.

Here’s one of cinema’s most insane-looking scene stealers. It only appears on screen a couple of times and for only a few moments, but the undersea fiend is truly a one-of-a-kind creation — some mutant crab/crustacean hybrid. Its origins are obscure, but the film was one of the rash of “aliens of the deep” movies that appeared around the time of The Abyss — this one from Sean “Friday the 13th” Cunningham.

“Van Helsing” was a film I should have liked. In principle it was made for someone like me. But I got bored with the endless extremes and tedious escalation of climaxes. It was a case of: “Hey, we’ve still got a few million dollars left. Let’s have the moon falling out of the sky!”
